+`chainerror` provides an error backtrace like `failure` without doing a real backtrace, so even after you `strip` your
 binaries, you still have the error backtrace.
 
-Having nested function returning errors, the output doesn't tell where the error originates from.
-
-```rust
-use std::path::PathBuf;
-
-type BoxedError = Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync>;
-fn read_config_file(path: PathBuf) -> Result<(), BoxedError> {
-    // do stuff, return other errors
-    let _buf = std::fs::read_to_string(&path)?;
-    // do stuff, return other errors
-    Ok(())
-}
-
-fn process_config_file() -> Result<(), BoxedError> {
-    // do stuff, return other errors
-    let _buf = read_config_file("foo.txt".into())?;
-    // do stuff, return other errors
-    Ok(())
-}
-
-fn main() {
-    if let Err(e) = process_config_file() {
-        eprintln!("Error:\n{:?}", e);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-This gives the output:
-```console
-Error:
-Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }
-```
-and you have no idea where it comes from.
-
-
-With `chainerror`, you can supply a context and get a nice error backtrace:
-
-```rust
-use chainerror::Context as _;
-use std::path::PathBuf;
-
-type BoxedError = Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync>;
-fn read_config_file(path: PathBuf) -> Result<(), BoxedError> {
-    // do stuff, return other errors
-    let _buf = std::fs::read_to_string(&path).context(format!("Reading file: {:?}", &path))?;
-    // do stuff, return other errors
-    Ok(())
-}
-
-fn process_config_file() -> Result<(), BoxedError> {
-    // do stuff, return other errors
-    let _buf = read_config_file("foo.txt".into()).context("read the config file")?;
-    // do stuff, return other errors
-    Ok(())
-}
-
-fn main() {
-    if let Err(e) = process_config_file() {
-        eprintln!("Error:\n{:?}", e);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-with the output:
-```console
-Error:
-examples/simple.rs:14:51: read the config file
-Caused by:

-`chainerror` uses `.source()` of `std::error::Error` along with `#[track_caller]` and `Location` to provide a nice debug error backtrace.
-It encapsulates all types, which have `Display + Debug` and can store the error cause internally.

-Along with the `Error<T>` struct, `chainerror` comes with some useful helper macros to save a lot of typing.
